Ferocious nObamaCare fight looming for Sixteeners - TPM: “The Senate's top five Republican leaders have cosponsored legislation to extend until 2017 the nObamacare insurance subsidies that may be struck down by the Supreme Court this summer. The legislation, offered by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), one of the most politically vulnerable Senate incumbents in 2016, would maintain the federal HealthCare.gov tax credits at stake in King v. Burwell through the end of August 2017. The bill was unveiled this week with 29 other cosponsors, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY) and his four top deputies, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), John Thune (R-SD), John Barrasso (R-WY) and Roy Blunt(R-MO). Another cosponsor is Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), the chairman of the conference's electoral arm.” -Fox News
A fabulous Fred Barnes lede - Weekly Standard: “In 1974, Nobel Prize-winning economist Friedrich Hayek criticized those who believed they could measure the real-world impact of economic theories with scientific precision. They were wrong, Hayek said in his Nobel lecture, entitled ‘The Pretence of Knowledge.’ They didn’t have enough solid information. What they lacked couldn’t be reduced to a number. It wasn’t quantifiable. Yet economists continued to ‘proceed on the fiction that the factors which they can measure are the only ones that are relevant.’ It might seem a stretch, but Hayek’s insight applies to politics, and notably to the 2016 presidential campaign.” -Fox News

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO RIDE IT OUT
A wardrobe malfunction at a horse race left spectators with an eyeful of one of the participants, and no, not the horse. The Mirror tells us of Australian jockey Blake Shine who had the elastic in his pants snap halfway through a race. Determined to stay the course, he continued racing with his rear end in the air for all to see. Despite his determination, however, he did not win. Blake took it all in stride. At least it wasn’t during a Super Bowl halftime show. -Fox News
